Another Serious Road Accident on Highway 7 Near Pattaya

Highway Patrol Officers were called to investigate a serious road accident at a flyover on Highway 7. When they arrived on scene they found a damaged Toyota Vigo Pick-up Truck and a wrecked Honda Wave Motorcycle. A unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were already at the accident site with medics tending to the injured.

The young man who was driving the motorcycle and his girlfriend who was on the back were seriously injured and were soon on their way to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for further emergency treatment.

The driver of the pickup Khun Ekachai 26 years old told the police that he was returning home from his job in Bangkok and that the motorcycle was in the wrong lane on the flyover and coming towards him at high speed, so fast that he could not avoid hitting it.  

The police are not convinced and continue their investigations. Hopefully the motorcyclists will survive and be able to tell their side of the story.
